Welcome

A big Wyoming hello to those of you who are joining this blog. Our goal for this blog is to keep everyone updated on our racing progress so we are going to try really, really hard to post new entries as soon as we're done with every race. To all of our sponsors who are reading this, THANK YOU for giving of your time and money, as well as believing in us. We are so excited to see what this year holds for us and we hope that we will make all of you very proud. So here's the low down so far....

The first race isn't until January 16 and 17th. It's being held in Preston, Idaho and from what I can tell, it is one of the easier races in the circuit. It is also one of the closest races. All of our races, with the exception of Jackson, are at least a 5 hour trip...... one way. So, needless to say we are going to be spending a lot more time driving to the races than we are going to actually be racing. As far as equipment, our snowmobile is in, Barry from Karst is in the process of putting it together. Hopefully it will be done soon, as we still have to do a lot to it before it is ready to race. We are still waiting on our trailer. We spoke to Brent from CY sales yesterday and he said it should be here by Christmas. I'm hoping we will get lucky and get it sooner than that because it still needs to be plastered with sponsor logos, our logo, etc. Crossing our fingers on that one. We are slowly getting our gear together, Nate from Klim has been awesome to work with and we should be getting our jerseys from them soon. We will still need to get our bib numbers and sponsor logos on them before they are ready. So needless to say, a lot of stuff is still in progress. We are still on the hunt for sponsors, the more we can get, the less we have to pay out of pocket which will definitely help us. We're so excited we can hardly stand it. Now we just have to pray for snow! Thanks again for your support. We're looking forward to updating this again soon.

-Marci and Derek
